30名自然适应湿热气候的女大学生和30名男大学生在一个气候箱中暴露于7种温湿度组合中，并在教室和宿舍进行了全年的调查。在小室测试中，他们穿着0.5clo，同时收集他们的主观和生理反应。在实地研究中，受试者接受了调查，同时测量了他们身体周围的热参数。根据我们对同一组受试者的室内和现场研究，结果显示对温度变化或在中性温度下的热敏感性没有显著差异。两性对温度的满意度相同，尽管女性在凉爽的温度下往往更不满意，而男性在室内测试中往往更不满意温暖的温度；然而，当他们在野外调整衣服时，这种差异就消失了。
Thirty female and 30 male college students, who had naturally acclimatized to hot-humid climate, were exposed to seven temperature/humidity combinations in a climate chamber, and they were surveyed all year long at their classrooms and dormitories. They dressed in 0.5 clo in the chamber tests, while their subjective and physiological responses were collected. In the field study the subjects were surveyed while the thermal parameters around their body were measured. Results show no significant differences in thermal sensitivity to temperature changes or in neutral temperatures, based on our chamber and field studies with the same group of subjects. Both genders were equally satisfied with temperatures, although females tended to be more dissatisfied in cool temperatures, and males tended to be more dissatisfied in warm temperatures in the chamber tests; however the differences disappeared when they can adjust their clothing in the field.
